Empirical Formula Ratio Calculator — example with explicit inputs

Settings: No extra options

Input:

{
  "elements": [
    {
      "symbol": "C",
      "mass": 12.011
    },
    {
      "symbol": "H",
      "mass": 2.016
    },
    {
      "symbol": "O",
      "mass": 15.999
    }
  ]
}

Expected result for the example input and options:

Output:

{
  "empirical_formula": "CH2O",
  "mole_ratios": [
    1,
    2,
    1
  ]
}

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Rounded experimental masses can be ambiguous; tolerance is 0.03 in scaled ratios and multiplier at most 12.
  • Keep JSON property names and value types consistent with the example. Network tools do not perform live scans or remote lookups.
  • Check substance identity, reaction coefficients and concentration conventions. Numerical output does not verify experimental conditions.
